Alex Iwobi
Following the announcement of Alex Iwobi’s inclusion in the list of Super Eagles to face Congo and Cameroon, Nigerians have questioned the rationale behind the Arsenal man’s call up.
NFF 2nd vice president Shehu Dikko says the 19 year old is a late inclusion to the squad because of FIFA rules which state that he must play for the main team before he can be considered for the U-23 squad.
“Hence, Oliseh called him up on the request of Siasia who wants to use him for the U23s and by this action Nigeria will have secured his allegiance and this would also further motivate other players like him to come along.
